Worth a look
This is a fun baseball comedy that offers a look into the realm of the true college baseball experience while following the path of a REALLY bad team. It's never going to win any Oscars, but I don't think that was the intention. The acting is good and features a lot of recognizable faces: Bruce Davison (Golden Globe winner), Larry "Soup Nazi" Thomas, Erin Cahill (Pink Power Ranger), Kate Vernon (Battlestar Galactica), Allen Maldonado (Blackish), Dat Phan and Josh Blue (Last Comic Standing winners).

There are some very good one liners (some hit better than others), but it reminds me of a slightly more tame Major League with a slight 80s feel and pace to it. The romantic storyline between the two leads was well done and it's not too dirty or gross. I assume the Rated R was for some language, but it wasn't too bad or overly graphic. It's probably OK for a PG 13 audience since I'm sure they have heard the language before.

Although at times it feels slow, overall, it's definitely work a look and makes for a fun time, especially for the references it makes to other baseball movies in the past. The Roger Clemens "anything to win" cameo was fun.
